Kleven Launch 116 Metre Long Expedition Support Vessel (Video)

Kleven launched its build no 370 on Saturday (March 12), a 116 metre long Expedition Support Vessel.

This is the second vessel from Kleven to Mr Graeme Hart, and as with the first vessel, Mr Hart and his family attended the launch ceremony at the yard in Ulsteinvik, Norway.

The first vessel, 107 m long Ulysses, was delivered from Kleven Verft in 2015, and is now on her first cruise in the Mediterranean.

The high specification vessel is of type MT 5006 MKII ESV, designed by Norwegian ship design company Marin Teknikk in cooperation with Naval Architect Kyle Dick of New Zealand based Oscar Mike Naval Architects.

The vessel is specially designed for long expeditions in rough waters, and blends a robust, hard-working character with luxurious added extras.

The vessel will accommodate 66 people, and is to be delivered from Kleven Verft in July this year.
